week end fun in Muenster

A lot of fun you can have in Muenster in the weekend. As a typcal European city and relatively small one, the city's normal day starts at 7:00 am, people are in the street going to work, by car, on foot or on bike, the shops are opening, the Cafes, restaurants, Baekerei (Baker shops) and Fleicheries (Butchers) They also have here what they call Steh Cafe, coffee shop whereyou eat or drink standing (stehen is the German verb for standing)

The week end is really nice here, if the weather is good (the German definition of good weather is sunny and warm) people are in the streets walking, shopping or sitting in open air cafes and restaurants. The lake here is a very interesting calm place for walking and meditation. It is actually an artificial lake that was dug many years ago to protect the city and now it is surrounded by huge green areas for walking, bicycle riding and jogging. The remains of the old wall also is a vast greenerie that can serve for the main purpose and called the Promenade. In all these gardens you only breath fresh clean air scented with the characteristic smell of clean fresh grass, you only listen to sweet singing of birds and you only see beauty that you cannot take your eyes of. It's very common to get encountered by small rabbits playing and eating or beautiful squirrels running quickly, they are really so sweet.

Downtown each saturday there is an open market, called Prinzipalmarkt just in front of the Cathedral. There you can buy anything and everything, beautiful flowers, plants, fresh fruits and vegetables from all over the world, all kinds of meat, chicken and fish, varieties of bread and bakeries, hand made clothes and scarfs, souvenirs, accessories and all other things you can imagine.

Having been the Capital of the Prussian Province Westphalen, and still being the cultural center of the modern Nordrhein Westphalia Province, Muenster has a lot of museums and art galleries. The Landes Museum with art works from all over Germany, Stadt Museum for art works from Muenster, Pablo Picasso museum, Muehlenhoff Museum for old farm houses and hand work equioments, Geological Museum, Botanical Garden, Wilhelmes Schloss (Old palace of King Wilhelm) Porcelain Museum, Bible Museum, West Prussian provincial Museum, Museum of Laquer Art as well as many art galleries and exhibitions scattered all over Muenster, either in halls or open air. Modern, classical, Christian and gothic art, all found in one city.

I guess Muenster suits me very well, I love greenery and peaceful meditating evironment with nature and calmness, I'm into art works and I love museums and art galleries, I love shopping and I love bicycle riding, so all these things are in Muenster, apart from the early disappearnce of all kinds of life, Muenster could have been really the perfect place.

My weekends in Muenster are really full of fun.

All my Love from Muenster
